"Listen to me. These people walk imaginary pets. On a f***ing leash. And they're all heavily armed and drunk. New York is boring. I'll call you later." -John Cusack in Midnight in the Garden of Good and EvilMy blog: http://cabbageeatsyarn.blogspot.com

You can block a crocheted piece, as long as the yarn isn't acrylic. There are instructions in the book. I haven't ever done any blocking, so I can't offer you any more advice on that. Sk is definitely for skip. Your scarf looks very nice primashonna!
